Using tangent substitution on $Bbb R$












0












$begingroup$


How can you calculate de integral of $f:Bbb RtoBbb R$ , $f(x)=dfrac1{3cos x+sin x+1}$? I have done it with tangent substitution but that works if $x$ is in $(-pi,pi)$ and I don't know how to extend that to $Bbb R$.

    Note that $f$ is periodic with any period of length $2pi$. Thus knowing an antiderivative on $[-pi,pi]$ is enough...

    On -pi and pi would you need to put c1 and c2 and calculate them from the continuity?

    The issue is that if your function possesses asymptotes, for example near $x=2.1$. Any antiderivative makes sense only in intervals of continuity... Keep your answer as it is, adding it an arbitrary constant.

Have a look at the discontinuous curve associated with your function :



enter image description here



It possesses separated domains $D_k$, due to asymptotes : on each one, if $F(x)$ is your antiderivative, you can give the answer $F(x)+C_k$, on each $D_k$ with a specific $C_k$, independent of the others.
